Bank of America announced Q2 financial results that were stronger than expected.

Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.41 per share, which was much stronger than the $0.29 expected.

One big adjustment during the quarter was litigation costs which slashed $0.22 from the bottom line.

"The economy continues to strengthen, and our customers and clients are doing more business with us," said CEO Brian Moynihan. "Among other positive indicators, consumers are spending more, brokerage assets are up by double digits and our corporate clients are increasingly turning to us to help finance business expansion and merger activity. We are well positioned for further progress."
